The Boulder County District Attorney's Office said the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person suspected of leaving poisoned meatballs for dogs at a park in Gunbarrel is now up to $3,500.

Three dogs have been treated for suspected poisoning and a total of eight meatballs have been found by officials this week at a neighborhood park at 5150 Buckingham Road in Gunbarrel.

There are no suspects in the case, but several of the recovered meatballs are being tested this week for DNA.

On Thursday, TV host and Boulder County resident Aaron Harber offered a $1,000 reward for information in the case.

As of this afternoon, Boulder DA spokeswoman Catherine Olguin said more donations had come in and that the reward fund was up to $3,500.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 303-441-4444.
